Is Lemba Tribe In
Southern Africa
One Of The Lost Ones?
Genetic tests carried out by British scientists have revealed that many of the Lemba tribesmen in southern Africa have Jewish origins. The Lemba, a tribe of 70,000 to 80,000 members who live in central Zimbabwe and northern South Africa, have many customs which are very similar to Jewish ones, even to putting the Star of David on their tomb stones. According to their oral tradition, the Lemba are descended from seven Jewish men who left Israel 2,500 years ago and married African women.
